Instructions

  1. Mix the milk, yeast, sugar, and egg. Add the flour, salt, and butter and knead 6–8 minutes until soft and smooth.
  2. Rise covered until doubled, about 1 hour.
  3. Roll into a 16×12-inch rectangle. Spread with the soft butter and sprinkle evenly with brown sugar and cinnamon.
  4. Roll up from the long side and cut into 12 rolls with floss or a sharp knife. Arrange in a greased 9×13-inch pan.
  5. Rise 40–50 minutes until puffy and touching.
  6. Bake at 350°F for 22–26 minutes until golden. Beat the icing ingredients until smooth and spread over the warm rolls.

Baker's tip

For overnight rolls, refrigerate after shaping and bake straight from the fridge the next morning (add 5 minutes).
